Carried is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but is 4-47 on the track while Lady Rosebud has won five times here though she's never raced over a trip this far. Harvey Specter has no problems staying and was having only his third start on the track when running on well over 1m2f last time but the three-year-old SPELGA can complete a hat-trick. He's been staying on strongly over the extended 1m2f track to lead close home so the step-up in trip should be to his liking. Make Good scored over 1m6f at Nottingham in July and will be having his first run for new connections.
